Great Song Writers - Post 1980
Soidanae:
Songwriters are, I would think, the guys who have their names underneath the songs.
In the space for songwriting credits.

Yep.
For god's sake, could somebody trim those <3s down? Every time you do that, the baby Shug-Niggurath cries.
Inlander:
--- Quote from: sjbrot ---How do we define songwriters? Caribou writes great songs. Buck 65 writes great songs. But would either of them qualify as "songwriters" in this thread?
It seems alot of the people being sugested here are white guys with guitars. Is that the definition of a songwriter? I think the term itself is redundant for anyone who makes music.

I don't know about anyone else, but my main criteria is excellent lyric-writing. I guess a good way with a tune doesn't hurt either.
Merkava:
--- Quote from: sp2 ---As far as actual good songwriting goes, I'd say Soundgarden wrote some damned good tunes. I mean, certainly they wrote a lot of trash, but they also wrote a lot of really well-put-together songs.
I'd say the Weakerthans do the same thing, too. They have some bad songs, but they're damned good lyrically and they write good hooks and have good song structure as well.
Arguments could be made convincingly for Pearl Jam, although I'll leave those arguments for someone else to make.

Who are you and what have you done with the real sp2?
ALSO WTF IS STRETCHING THE PAGE OMG?
Mabe it was the recommendation of Colin Meloy. Because he sucks.

The ability to sing is optional.
